Fedor Fedorov (hiding in the back, above) said he doesn’t know why he hasn’t been able to make any headway in the NHL.

The 24-year-old brother of All-Star Sergei Fedorov was recalled from Hartford of the AHL yesterday and said that regardless of the reason he has appeared in only 15 games in the league, he is ready to make an impact.

“My heels are against the wall,” Fedorov said after his first practice with the Rangers. “I haven’t played a lot at all.”
